Yorgos Efthymiadis is an artist/curator from Greece who resides in Somerville, MA. A winner of the 2025 James and Audrey Foster Prize, a recipient of FY25 Grants for Creative Individuals by Mass Cultural Council, and of a 2025 Sustaining Artist Grant by Collective Futures Fund, Efthymiadis was also an awardee of the Artist’s Resource Trust A.R.T. Grant in 2024. In addition, a recipient of the St. Botolph Club Foundation 2017 Emerging Artist Award, and a 2017 Finalist of the Mass Cultural Council Fellowship, Efthymiadis has exhibited nationally and internationally and was represented by Gallery Kayafas until its closure in 2024.
Efthymiadis is a board member of Somerville Arts Council and chair of the Visual Arts Fellowship Grants since 2017. Efthymiadis is also a reviewer for the Lenscratch Student Prize Awards since 2023 and finds it very fulfilling to help fellow photographers and give back to the photographic community.
In 2015 he created a gallery in his own kitchen, titled The Curated Fridge. The idea behind this project is to celebrate fine art photography and connect photographers with established and influential curators, gallerists, publishers and artists from around the world through free, quarterly curated calls. The Curated Fridge recently celebrated 10 years of exhibitions and has featured more than 1500 artists in 40+ shows juried by 45 guest curators.
